Six-cylinder Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 So what should I do on a cold damp Saturday in February? I know, I will drive 100 miles to a breakfast that is very bad for my health, go to an auction that has some of the worst cars for sale I have seen with the most haphazard auctioneer I have EVER seen! What is wrong with me, I am looking forward to this very much and meeting up with the gang! brownnova, strangeangel, chaseracer and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms206 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I shall attend. If WIFE_CMS does not wish to attend I shall bring the horrible hound, if not the Proton of much misery. chaseracer, hairnet and Six-cylinder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Does anything go through Cannock for actual money? I need to lose the mk4 Clio but it’s not a nail and needs to sell for what it’s actually worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth in a bowl Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Â Â Everything sells, but the auction is very brand and plate conscious. A newer VW that is tatty as hell will make more money than an older tidy Renault. Long MOT helps. What's the year and mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 How suitable would this day out be for my littlun? 7yrs old. I was just explaining a car auction to him the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British car Auctions have heaters and coffee shops while this lot has a bugger van and coldness! I guess he needs to see both really! Floatylight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm going to be trying to bring alone my little 'un as soon as she's able to walk about and say 'Mondeo'.

Bring it back in 10 years and get a good 100,000 miles on it. davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I did confirm to @Kiltox that the Focus he recently collected was prime Cannock fodder, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
